CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS
- The source uses many high-power inverters.
- Power quality varies depending on solar irradiance.
- The point of common coupling (PCC) is an important location for power quality assessment.
- Grid conditions directly affect the system’s operating capability.
What makes the system difficult to control?
CONTINUOUSLY FLUCTUATING GENERATED POWER
Changes according to solar irradiance and weather conditions.
01
RISK OF HARMONIC RESONANCE
Multiple inverters and existing capacitor systems may increase the risk of harmonic resonance.
02
DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY THE HARMONIC SOURCE
It is difficult to determine whether harmonics at the point of common coupling (PCC) originate from the plant or are transmitted from the grid.
03
DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF INVERTER TRIPS
Many electrical phenomena can cause inverter shutdowns, but they are difficult to detect without sufficient measurement data.
04
LIMITATIONS IN POWER QUALITY MEASUREMENT
Current transformers may not accurately reflect harmonic components, making power quality assessment and control more difficult.
